Figure 3.

Distribution of metabolites analyzed by GC-MS during peach fruit development and ripening. The graph shows the relative level of each metabolite to its amount found in harvest peach fruit (H). Normalized values are shown on a color scale (shown at the bottom), which is proportional to the content of each identified metabolite. Mean values of five independent determinations for each stage were expressed as ratios between log₂ and H using the MultiExperiment Viewer software (version 4.4.1; Saeed et al., 2003). The gray square indicates a value not determined. E1, 9 DAB; E2, 17 DAB; S1, 37 DAB; S2, 59 DAB; S3, 74 DAB; S4, 87 DAB; H, 102 DAB (harvest); H3, 3 DAH; H5, 5 DAH; H7, 7 DAH. Relative values for each metabolite peak area are provided in Supplemental Table S1.
